Professor Guo stood in the void, staring at Crescent Lake with a gloomy expression. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
If it were ordinary ghosts, they would just be killed without any worries.
But Princess Yaoyue is different. The other party was a member of the royal family of Daqian during his lifetime. Even if he becomes a ghost now, his identity will not change. Before the other party becomes a scourge, Guo Jiaoxi cannot kill him at will. He may even have to Give some respect.
"...It's really troublesome!"
Guo Jiaoxi snorted coldly, and then he sensed something. He looked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion, and the lightning around him flashed, turning into a divine rainbow and disappearing from Jiao Sai's field of vision.
Jiao Sai raised his head and watched Guo Jianxi leave, his expression still shocked, and whispered to himself: "Princess Daqian? That female ghost was Princess Daqian before she was alive? Brother Luo was attracted by Princess Daqian?"
At the end of the sentence, Jiao Sai's expression became strange. He did not expect that such a change would occur in this mission.
Generally, after the death of a royal family, the body will be properly disposed of, and even the tomb is specially selected. It is impossible for such things to turn into ghosts.
But right now, His Highness seems a little special.
"Tsk, brother Luo is really blessed and enviable~"
Jiao Sai touched his chin, joked, shook his head, and began to cast spells to catch people. Those floating on the lake still needed to be dealt with properly.
As for Luo Xiu, Jiao Sai is not worried anymore.
Her Royal Highness the Princess has no murderous intentions, she just wants to recruit Luo Xiu as her consort. It is hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse, but one thing is clear, Luo Xiu's life is definitely safe. As for the rest, it depends on Luo Xiu's own luck. Well, Professor Guo Xi has taken over anyway, so there is no need for his little spiritual officer to worry about anything.
No matter how bad the situation is, Luo Xiu is just sucked into being fucked.
He should be able to withstand it~
…
City Lord's Mansion.
As soon as Guo Jiaoxi's figure fell, he saw Chen Zhongyi, the governor of Yangcheng, standing at the door.
"How much do you know about Princess Yaoyue?"
Professor Guo stared at Chen Zhongyi seriously and asked in a deep voice.
He, the instructor of Yangcheng Lingfu, did not know about the fact that Princess Yao Yue's cemetery was at Crescent Lake. He didn't even know about it until today.
With a faint smile on his thin and dark face, Chen Zhongyi said softly: "I do know something... let's go into the room and talk."
After saying that, Chen Zhongyi turned around and walked into the study.
Guo Jiaoxi followed closely behind.
There was no one else in the study, the layout was simple and concise, and a few oil lamps dispersed the darkness in the room.
"Please take a seat."
Chen Zhongyi extended his hand to Professor Guo and saluted, then knelt down beside the table.
Guo Jiaoxi knelt down opposite him and said in a solemn voice: "Yangcheng Lingfu didn't know about such a big thing. Governor Chen concealed it very well."
"Secrets involving the royal family cannot be revealed at will, not to mention the special status of Princess Yao Yue. If this matter becomes a big deal and spreads to the capital, you should know what kind of turmoil and consequences it will cause. "
The smile on Chen Zhongyi's face faded, his face became solemn, he looked at Professor Guo on the other side and said unhurriedly.
Guo Jiaoxi was silent for a while and asked: "How come Princess Yaoyue's tomb is in Yangcheng!"
Logically speaking, the corpses of the royal family should be transported back to the capital and buried in the royal tombs. How could they be buried outside casually? Besides, Princess Yaoyue's rank was not low. She was the eldest princess in the Great Qian Dynasty and had a very high status. Gao, how could he be treated so hastily after death?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Princess Yao Yue's tomb was actually at the bottom of Crescent Lake.
"Yangcheng was originally a cemetery. Too many humans, monsters, and barbarians were buried here... If it hadn't been suppressed by Jiuding imitation weapons, this place would have become a ghost land where ghosts were rampant. Princess Yaoyue died among several monster kings back then. Because the war at that time was too cruel, her body was not fully protected and naturally could not be transported back neatly. In the end, she was buried under Yangcheng together with the thousands of soldiers.
Perhaps it was because too many people died here and Princess Yaoyue herself had great luck, so the Jiuding imitation device could not affect her and turned her into a ghost.
She has been sleeping at the bottom of Crescent Lake for these years. Who knew that this accident would wake her up and even make her think about it..."
Having said this, Chen Zhongyi also paused and looked a little helpless. He did not expect that Princess Yao Yue would have a sudden idea to find a consort.
Although the union of humans and ghosts is strange, it is not uncommon after so many years.
Both of the people present have seen the world, so this matter is not worth making a fuss about.
But the bad thing is Princess Yaoyue’s identity.
The Princess Daqian who lived hundreds of years ago was the grandmother of the Heavenly Saint Emperor according to her seniority. Now she is looking for a consort. This matter has spread to the capital and made known to the royal family... It gives me a headache just thinking about it.
"Then what should we do now? Is it really possible to just sit back and do nothing?"
Guo Jiaoxi's old face darkened. It would be easy for him to find an apprentice at his age. Moreover, once the royal family knew about this matter, God knows what trouble would result.
There are already enough troubles in Yangcheng now. If this happens again, it will really become a mess.
"……I don't know either."
Chen Zhongyi sighed and said with the same helplessness: "This Princess Yaoyue was a monk during her lifetime. She was extremely talented. She had already entered the Dharma Realm at the age of twenty. If she had not died at that time, she would have been able to enter the magical realm within a hundred years. Now she has become a monk. The ghost's talent is still astonishing, but she has grown to this point in a hundred years. It will not be easy for you and me to take her down.
What's more, she is from the royal family.
I am going to report this matter to the imperial court and let His Majesty make a decision."
"That's all it can do."
Professor Guo nodded and agreed.
Chen Zhongyi suddenly changed the topic, coughed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Actually, if you think about it, it's not impossible. If that kid is willing, maybe he can make a good story."
"Thankfully you are still a disciple of Confucianism! You don't even know the different paths between humans and ghosts!"
Teacher Guo looked at Chen Zhongyi in shock. He didn't expect this old guy to say such nonsense. He really read it and scolded him.
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me."
Chen Zhongyi raised his hand, comforted Guo Jiaoxi, and continued: "Princess Yaoyue is a ghost after all. Even if she has reason now, how long can she maintain it? The ghost is not a human after all, not to mention she is still a person hundreds of years ago. Now the whole No one in Daqian knows her, so if we can use this to give her some concern, that's fine."
"..."
Guo Jiaoxi fell silent after hearing this. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to say that what Chen Zhongyi said made sense.
Can Luo Xiu withstand it?
Considering that Luo Xiu didn't have any cultivation level and even Yan Qinyu dared to hook up with her, this might be possible!
Chen Zhongyi continued to persuade: "Princess Yao Yue died for Da Qian and the human race after all. She was only twenty-two when she died. It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to reconnect her with the current Da Qian."
"Damn it, you scholars are still more troublesome!"
Teacher Guo couldn't help but stand up, looked at Chen Zhongyi, couldn't hold back, and uttered a curse word.
The old guy in front of me can even plot against ghosts.
If Luo Xiu and Princess Yaoyue are to succeed as planned by Chen Zhongyi, then Princess Yaoyue will definitely protect Yangcheng in the future. With the special characteristics of ghosts, it is enough to ensure that Yangcheng will be worry-free for thousands of years.
"I am getting old, and I will eventually have to make some plans for future generations. Whether this matter will succeed or not depends on whether that boy can win the favor of Princess Yaoyue."
Chen Zhongyi's old face remained calm and he spoke calmly. He didn't feel at all that he had planned anything, and he had never forced anything. Everything was just done casually.
"Then will your memorial be sent out?"
Guo Jiaoxi's expression changed and he said.
"The weather is unpredictable, so it's normal to be delayed for a few days."
Chen Zhongyi glanced at the moonlit night sky and said softly.
"..."
Professor Guo was speechless, he knew that the old guy in front of him had already made up his mind from the beginning.
Chen Zhongyi looked at Professor Guo and asked, "Do you know who that kid is and what his personality is like?"
This matter is very important. If that person has bad character, this matter will naturally be abandoned.
"My apprentice, what do you think?"
Professor Guo twitched the corners of his mouth and said in a muffled voice.
"So best~"
Chen Zhongyi's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he stroked his beard and said with satisfaction. This chapter has been completed!
